ISMC Throttle

The main contribution of this paper is the design of a novel finite time control able to track a reference under the presence of external matched and unmatched disturbances with unknown upper-bounds. The systems under study are nominally linear. The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system is a drive-by-wire system in which the direct mechanical linkages between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve are replaced by sensors and
actuators pairs.
